MEZCALEROS
MEZCALEROS
We believe in honouring each Mezcalero, their family traditions, and their unique Mezcal individually. We do not blend batches from multiple producers together; we celebrate each family individually, showcasing their talents with exclusive bottlings.
Each bottle tells a story, a rich narrative of heritage, craftsmanship, and passion passed down through the family generations. By preserving the unique qualities of each Mezcal, we offer an authentic sip straight from our Maestro.
JULIO SANCHEZ GOMEZ
Our Mezcals are exclusively made by our partner, grower and producer, Julio Sanchez Gomez, from the Mixteca region of Oaxaca. Julio has grown agaves throughout his life and is a proud fourth-generation Mezcalero.
​
Every agave used in the production of Quiquiriqui Mezcal is grown from seed by Julio and his family, ensuring complete control of the entire agave cultivation process. Julio's commitment extends to maintaining robust biodiversity on his lands, where he fosters the growth and flowering of various agave species. This biodiversity not only supports a thriving ecosystem but also provides food and habitat for pollinators, such as bats, and other wildlife, contributing to a balanced and resilient environment.

Today, Melanie and Julio collaborate to bring handmade mezcals for their customers around the globe. Every step remains true to traditional methods, from the planting of agave seeds in the nursery, to the harvesting, roasting, and distillation processes, all done at the family palenque, in the hills of the Mixteca Alta
Julio is a 4th-generation Mezcalero, and his family have been growing agave from seed in the lands surrounding their home for generations. All the agaves used for our production are grown by Julio and his family. His dedication to the craft is evident in every bottle, each one a testament to the rich heritage and meticulous care that goes into producing mezcal. Julio's knowledge of the soil, climate, and unique characteristics of each agave plant has been passed down through stories and hands-on experience, ensuring that each generation builds upon the wisdom of the last. This deep connection to the land and their ancestors is what makes their mezcal truly special, offering a taste that is both traditional and uniquely their own.
